Les Telliers

Top choice in Reims


Enticingly positioned down a quiet alley near the cathedral, this bijou B&B extends one of Reims’ warmest bienvenues (welcomes). The high-ceilinged rooms are big on art-deco character, and handsomely decorated with ornamental fireplaces, polished oak floors and the odd antique. Breakfast costs an extra €9 and is a generous spread of pastries, fruit, fresh-pressed juice and coffee.
